Description

China’s tech startups have received billions of dollars from investors and produced many large global companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, and Bytedance. However, due to geopolitical tensions, COVID lockdowns, and tightening regulations, Chinese tech stocks lost over 1 trillion US in value in 2020, and the industry hasn’t recovered since. As China slowly eases Covid regulations, people are wondering when China might return to its glory days.
